Guild Wars 2

Why is your game so freaking static?

You guys are doing seasonal patches now right?

Can’t you guys also do season versions of the open world?

Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter Fractals – you have a set of fractals and achievements for each season netting a different colored legendary back piece.

Spring/Summer/Fall/Winter World Bosses – I’m not asking for massive changes, just have each world boss synergize with a season. example: Shadow Behemoth during the fall gets somewhat more difficult with a set of achieves, and goes back to normal during it’s off season. Modniir Ulgoth could synergize with Spring. Etc.

Reknowned kittening hearts. Can they change? I know coming up with 3-500 unique characters is a freaking impossible challenge. But how about 60-90 unique reknowned HEROES, that are spread across the world in multiple zones to add up to 3-500 challenges. For example, a Iron-legion general collecting raw materials in Plains of Ashford can also be found in Blazeridge Steppes repairing the wall. You could get him to have different dialogue depending on how many times you’ve interacted or completed his hearts challenges and race the player character is. And these challenges and characters change every season or move around.

Open World/PvE is to freaking static, it feels so boring. Fix it somehow. At least try something, gosh.

Maybe because that’s a lot of work and you’re one of the 3 people that would care.

I’m not sure Kessex Hills could withstand any more non-static events. That poor little area is like a magnet for permanent devastation. I’m sure that even if the devs set out to create new permanent changes in other maps they’d somehow end up blowing up Kessex Hills just a little bit more.

I don’t feel it’s static. FF14 is static. People are just standing at their corner to provide quests no matter if the pure sun or a thunderstorm is near to it, they never actually talk to you (just waving around your hands and no voice-over) and everything is in the instances.

In GW2 it’s very pleasing that merchant Charr I was about to talk to was on a mission in the nearby cave and came back with a bunch of players that participated. Also that many NPCs have fun lines to listen to. Bots in the Metrica Province running around, delivering messages. Enemies that start quests, waypoints that are inaccessible because it is currently under siege etc.

GW2 has the right balance right now. Any tilting in either way would be bad.

Or do you mean changes in the large scale? I was referring to the general PvE status (what you were talking about).

I dont believe they set out for it to be this static. If people remember living story season 1, it was suppose to leave impacts and you had to be there to experience it. If you weren’t you missed out.

There was a big backlash against this style, so season 2 had nothing like that in it (or very little).

Basically, its static because doing otherwise causes other players to gripe for missing out.

It is a thempark game, things are stale in themeparks…
We had chain event but im guessing they are disabled.

lol man some people are so spoiled
this game is so much better then a ton of others
its still kinda bland, but every mmo is the same way
